Building High Performance Sales Teams - University of Georgia Sales AcademyDave Brookmire
The author outlines how to create high performing sales teams and how sales leaders can coach and develop their talent. The multi-generational issues are discussed along with implications for development of talent.
Talent Wins” by Dr.Ram Charan, Dominic Barton, Dennis Carey
Most executives today recognize the competitive advantage of human capital, and yet the talent practices their organizations use are stuck in the twentieth century.
Typical talent-planning and HR processes are designed for predictable environments, traditional ways of getting work done, and organizations where "lines and boxes" still define how people are managed. As work and organizations have become more fluid--and business strategy is no longer about planning years ahead but about sensing and seizing new opportunities and adapting to a constantly changing environment--companies must deploy talent in new ways to remain competitive.
Turning conventional views on their heads, talent and leadership experts Ram Charan, Dominic Barton, and Dennis Carey provide leaders with a new and different playbook for acquiring, managing, and deploying talent--for today's agile, digital, analytical, technologically driven strategic environment--and for creating the HR function that business needs. Filled with examples of forward-thinking companies that have adopted radical new approaches to talent (such as ADP, Amgen, BlackRock, Blackstone, Haier, ING, Marsh, Tata Communications, Telenor, and Volvo), as well as the juggernauts and the startups of Silicon Valley, this book shows leaders how to bring the rigor that they apply to financial capital to their human capital--elevating HR to the same level as finance in their organizations.
Providing deep, expert insight and advice for what needs to change and how to change it, this is the definitive book for reimagining and creating a talent-driven organization that wins.

Strategy palette as a unifying choice framework. It is designed to help leaders match their approach to strategy to the circumstances at hand and execute it effectively, to combine different approaches to cope with multiple or changing environments, and, as leaders, to animate the resulting collage of approaches. The strategy palette consists of five archetypal approaches to strategy, which can be applied to different parts of your business:
• Classical: I can predict it, but I can’t change it.
• Adaptive: I can’t predict it, and I can’t change it.
• Visionary: I can predict it, and I can change it.
• Shaping: I can’t predict it, but I can change it.
• Renewal: My resources are severely constrained.

A company is in Prime when form and function are in balance. The what and the how are in balance. Prior to Prime, function is more important than form. In other words, what we do is more important than how we do it. After Prime, how we do it is more important than what we do. That is why, after Prime, how you do something and whom you know is more important than what you do. In Prime, the what and how are in balance. In Prime, the company is both flexible and in control. Prior to Prime, the company is flexible, but not very much in control of itself. After Prime, control is very high, and the company loses flexibility. In Prime, flexibility and control are together.
However, in a company in Prime, the management is not as flexible as before Prime, because there is professional management: The tendency to depend on any single indispensable individual does not exist as it does in younger companies. On the other hand, in Prime, the organization has a strategic outlook without losing attention to detail. Furthermore, the organization does not look only at detail without losing its strategic outlook, so the company in Prime has controlled flexibility, and it doesn’t depend on any single individual.

Strong Leaders at all levels within an organization are a requisite for business success. Yet the leadership pipeline –internal architecture for growing leaders is often broken or
nonexistent. This updated edition of the bestselling book has been revised to help address the challenges of today’s business environment. Anchored in experience based case studies, this
remarkable book synchronizes a proven model for planning leadership succession and development for corporate organizations. The Second edition is an improvement based on
learning and review of the authors who have drawn their work at more than one hundred international companies over a period of ten years since the first edition of the book with the same title was published. The book under review is addressed to the leading corporate organizations, where the succession path of leaders/ chief executives is being formulated & executed on a continuous basis to perpetuate the organization and make it strong and robust while facing trials and tribulations of corporate growth and success.
Whether corporate governance is a burden meant to report compliance on companies’ performance, or can it be used as a competitive advantage in view of the changing laws, awareness and scenario is the important question which is present in the minds of those at the top of the company affairs including the CEO, Directors and Boards.
The book under reference, “Boards that Deliver”, by Ram Charan attempts to answer this question in a certain and prudent manner. The author believes that with the right set of practices, any group of directors can become a board that delivers value to the management and to the investors and goes ahead to demonstrate his points giving directions on various steps to be taken to make this happen.

“ The Attacker’s Advantage” . This book is very contextual to the current environment and our preparation and transition to new Leadership Traits and dress for the future.
Strategists often see their road as a straight one with obstacles on the horizon to be dealt with as they appear. Author Ram Charan cautions that the real obstacles are much closer. Just around every corner lurk outliers, competitors, consumers, other industries and government policies that can quickly upset the apple cart.
One example: During the financial crisis, banks and financial services companies tightened lending practices. Small businesses couldn’t get loans, and consumers couldn’t obtain mortgages. There was a domino effect on other industries.
Charan believes that companies were too focused on daily operations, lacking the “perceptual acuity” to see a bigger picture. They looked at things from the inside out and relied on what they knew.
Catalysts, on the other hand, see things others don’t. They are creative thinkers who are one step ahead of everyone else.
They can also mine gold from “dead” technology. Steve Jobs found a new use for Gorilla Glass, a decades-old product mothballed by Corning Glass. Elon Musk’s solar-charged Tesla home battery could be the answer to offsetting high electric bills a decade from now.
How do you become a catalyst? This book gives some ideas .
The book is organized around 4 sections
• The fundamental Leadership challenge of our time
• Building on Perceptual acuity
• Going on the offense
• Making the organization agile
Each of these 4 sections build on one another
• Section one centers on the challenge of structural change, the algorithmic revolution and identifying early warning signs.
• Section two identifies the catalysts – people, government, companies of change and understanding what it is they see, and tools for developing perceptual acuity.
• Section three focuses on defining a path and developing a mindset of taking the offense.
• Section four outlines the use of idea-generating Joint Practice sessions ( JPS) which also provide transparency and coordination and , lastly , the what, who and how decision making to zero in on critical decision nodes.

In the year 2002, Warren Buffett made an admission that he had not been as vigilant as he should have been in his role as Director of the various subsidiaries of his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway. In a letter to the shareholders he wrote “ Too often I was silent when management made proposals that I judged to be counter to the interest of the shareholders. In those cases, collegiality trumped independence and a certain social atmosphere presides in boardrooms where it becomes impolitic to challenge the Chief Executive.
Kevin Sharer, Chairman of Amgen, the US biotech company, portrayed a very different relationship between board and chief executive. “ Working with the board is vital, complex, and beyond your prior experience. It is among the most complex human relationships, especially if you are the chairman, when you are their boss, and they are your boss. Get the relationship right or it will hurt you.
These two very different experiences open a new book, Boards that Lead- When to take charge, When to Partner and When to stay out of the way. The central premise of the books is a plea. “ Governing boards should take more active leadership of the enterprises, not just monitor its management?
The growing complexity of markets and strategy, the authors say, is one of the biggest challenges for board members. It also means that they cannot afford to sit back and rubber stamp executive’s plans.
Boards often fail to do their job, they point out, for example failing to do their due diligence. They cite the example of Yahoo’s Chief Executive Scott Thompson. After a few months in the post, it was discovered that he had listed a degree in both accounting and computer science, but had actually earned only the first.
A good book to read move from Delivering to Leading.

An Analysis of the Learning Processes of Successful EntrepreneursBrian Chupp
Numerous studies show that small business and entrepreneurism are vital to the health of our nation’s economy. In fact, over the last decade, these types of ventures account for 70% of economic growth, 75% of new jobs, and represent 99% of all employers. However, there remains a high rate of failure in these ventures, with over 60% of them failing within 6 years. Studies show that one reason for this failure is that entrepreneurs fail to learn new knowledge/skills as their organizations grow.
Unfortunately, only a limited number of studies have been conducted to investigate the learning process of entrepreneurs. The purpose of this descriptive ethnography was twofold: (1) explore the learning and development challenges experienced by entrepreneurs in the various phases of organizational growth, and (2) explore how entrepreneurs recognize the need to learn and develop plans to address the challenges. Once learning and development challenges, along with corresponding knowledge and skills, are identified, then learning solutions can be developed and offered to help entrepreneurs acquire them.
This descriptive ethnography was conducted with nine entrepreneurs from Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. Results included primary themes of learning challenges and the knowledge/skills needed to overcome them. Means of recognizing the need to learn new knowledge/skills and learning tools to acquire them were identified. Finally, participants gave nine pieces of advice for fellow entrepreneurs.
This study resulted in 14 findings regarding entrepreneurial learning. Recommendations were provided for entrepreneurs, learning solution providers, and lending institutions. Several additional recommendations for future research emerged from this study, which are noted.

different people. And I don't think that should be the case.
Either I am trustworthy or I'm not .... I just don't see how I can be 'quite' trustworthy (as in ... oh, he/she is quite
